Can I get 1meg upload from bulldog?

pyro · 6 Apr 2006 at 13:40

I am on the 8meg/512up, I'd like to make it 8down/1up, you reckon they can do it for me? I am gonna give them a call tomorrow but just wanted to know if anyone has done it here.

I doubt it very much. I can't see an ISP altering things for a single customer.

All their kit is set up for that standard packages and they really won't be arsed to do it. If they do they'll say "sure" and then probably just dump you on SDSL and charge you bum-loads. Why do you need 1meg up anyway?

1meg up is great, can send files faster over msn, icq and the like

host webserver

email server

ftp

ventrilo/teamspeak servers

cs servers

etc etc

Why I'm getting adsl2+ with 1.3meg upload from Be next month.

That's nice

If all but irrelevant to the OP

Source? I find it hard to believe that Bulldog will have LLU'd every exchange in the country by then. Without LLU there is no ADSL2+.

i think that the exchange pyro is on will be upgraded to adsl2+ at some point which is what gam3r is on about, and as for the 1mbp+ i believe there was something on www.adslguide.org.uk

Oops, I misread the post as implying that people with >1Mbit down would be getting ADSL2+.

gam3r · 7 Apr 2006 at 13:24

Sorry, i was misleading you. I should have said for LLU customers...

So what is the major difference between adsl and adsl2?

I think ADSL only offers speeds up to 8 Mb (what we are on now) but ADSL2 offers speeds up to 24 Mb.

pyro · 9 Apr 2006 at 15:27

24meg, not that would be a lot of money wasted on extra hard disks

But on normal adsl, what is the maximum upload limit? Surely it can't be 512.

gam3r · 9 Apr 2006 at 17:27

You know i don't know the answer to that one myself :confused:

Maybe it is 512mb?

According to http://www.adslguide.org.uk/newsarchive.asp?item=2572 for the home user the maximum upload speed is (up to) 448 kbps and for business is (up to) 832 kbps on Max Premium.

ADSL will do up to 1Mbps upload.
ADSL2+ in this country's limited to about the same (though Be are playing with a slightly different version - AKA Annexe M - that gives them more). IIRC the technical limit's 3.5Mbps with Annexe M.
